Yes, the same guy!
Yep. Same guy.
I have bad memories of CNN. I remember not too long ago CNN reporting that Saddam got 100% of the vote, without a hint of irony. They also perpetuated the idea that it was sanctions led by America, and not Saddam, who killed Iraqi babies, which was part of propoganda campaign which would have killed the sanctions and allowed Saddam to re-start his WMD programs if we hadn't stepped in and liberated Iraq.
So it's not just that the CNN folks are jerks; they are dangerous jerks.
I retract my previous bid for Gov. Gregoire.
Here's my new bid for "next":

And, nothing here: http://www.mydd.com
Does it not exist if the left does not acknowledge? Or, maybe the left does not exist if they don't acknowledge reality.
Outstanding!
But there's always the popular Sunday morning talk shows... *snicker
CNN"s loss is WalMart's gain.
I predict great things for Gannon..EWait till Rush gets back on Monday.. Rush practically adopted the guy on the air after he asked that great question at the WH presser..I'd like to see Rush get EIB WH press credentials for Gannon, give him a daily column on his website....maybe a 5 minute gig each show..that'd piss off the MSM, because Gannon wold have 1000 times more readers/losteners than any of them..
If the vidoe had exonerated him..you'd have a link to it on CNN's website for the last three days..
Nibble.
Nibble, nibble.
Chomp!

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan resigned Friday, saying the controversy over his remarks about the deaths of journalists in Iraq threatened to tarnish the network he helped build.
Jordan conceded that his remarks at the January 27 World Economic Forum were "not as clear as they should have been." Several participants at the event said Jordan told the audience U.S. forces had deliberately targeted journalists -- a charge he denied.
"After 23 years at CNN, I have decided to resign in an effort to prevent CNN from being unfairly tarnished by the controversy over conflicting accounts of my recent remarks regarding the alarming number of journalists killed in Iraq," Jordan said in a letter to colleagues.
Don't worry. they'll whip up some boilerplate blah, blah, blah about "The whiff of fascism in the air".
At least he's a man about it. Dan Rather is still denying his crime gainst the President.
